Honorable Randolph Perkins 921 Bergen Ave. Jersey City, N.J.
My dear Mr. Perkins:
In response to your letter of September 12, 1927, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 22994 , it appears that ASA TAGGLESONE or ECCLESON (the son of Asa) was born February 19, 1763, at Voluntown, Connecticut.
While a resident of said place he enlisted in 1778 and served eight and three-fourth months as a private in Captain Burdick's Company in Colonel Dyer's Rhode Island Island Regiment.
He enlisted in 1778 and served one and one-fourth months as a private in Captain Burdick's Company in Colonel Dyer's Rhode Island Regiment, during which time he was a substitute for his father, Asa.
He enlisted in June, 1779, and served as a minute-man at various times until the close of the Revolution, amounting to sixty-six days in all.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 11, 1832, at which time he was living in Antwerp, Jefferson County, New York. He died there August 10, 1840.

He married at Oswego, Dutchess County, New York, March 27, 1786, Content Hadsall. She was allowed pension on her application executed July 31, 1847, at which time she was a resident of Antwerp, New York, aged seventy-nine years.
They had a daughter, Cynthia, born March 19, 1787, and a son, Asa, born August 14, 1789.
The above is the history of the only soldier by the name of Asa Egglestone (searched under all spellings of the name) that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
It is proper to add that information relative to soldiers of the Revolution is given by courtesy of the Government and without charge. Due to the very large number of similar inquiries and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose it is not possible to make immediate reply to all inquiries, such letters being answered as rapidly as possible, in order of arrival.
Very truly yours,

For I have in your favor of 6th Inst in relation to the application of Mrs. Eggleston for a pension and am surprised at its contents. The Law of May 7 1846 to pay certain knowledge was designed to prevent impossibilities being required of aged widows, and also designed to prevent their being put to unnecessary trouble and expense when their husbands had been on the pension roll. This Law you seem entirely to disregard in relation to the service and marriage also. I trust on a review of the matter you will change your decision as I know she has done all that Congress designed should be required of her.
I recollect well the debate upon the subject, and the proviso was added as it was suggested, possibly there might be some case of fraud detected. Respectfully Yours, J. L. Edwards Esq. O. H. Grisfild

Sir In consequence with your letter of 8 inst I enclose further dis- closes as to the marriage of Charles Egglesham. The affidavit of Mr Mariate was lost and lately found the Insurance died soon after it was made it could not be replaced. I noticed 1780 or upon an error but it is evident it was an error in first writing 1840 being the year it was recorded. John had an affidavit of an Egglesham one of the names of the affidavits. It is to be feared if there is much more delay in this case that she will not live to receive the benefit of a pension. Respectfully yours J L Edwards Esq. (Mansfield).
